    • Trivia
      Executive producer is Michael Fassbender.
    • Goofs
      Arm is sent to kill Fannigan as he walks along a clifftop path on his way home from a bar. When Arm is next seen, it is morning and the sun is just visible over the sea near the horizon. The film is set and was filmed in the West of Ireland, which means that the scene was shot at sunset not sunrise.

    A Convincing Rural Tale...
    ... of crime and retribution in a small, provincial, Irish town. The misguided, misled and educationally challenged enforcer for the local drug dealing family takes a decision that may well jeopardise the relationship he desires with his autistic son, at the same time his ex partner is doing the same. A top performance from Cosmo Jarvis as the family's muscle; I was reminded of his equally brilliant performance in Lady Macbeth.
